Self Development Classes & Workshops – Awaken the Heart
Hello and welcome, I’m Esther.
My path has always been guided by the heart. For many years, I’ve had the honor of holding space for others — walking beside clients as they reconnect with their strength, clarity, and inner wisdom. Supporting others in remembering who they truly are is not only my work, it is my devotion.
Through The Awakened Heart Coaching, I guide individuals into a deeper relationship with themselves — strengthening self-worth, emotional resilience, and heart-centered presence. My coaching integrates grounded spiritual insight, holistic health and wellness, the understandings of energy and emotions for true transformation, and practical tools to help you move through life with clarity, confidence, and conscious intention.
These sessions are for you. A place to be heard, seen, and respected as we work together to uncover what is limiting you from your highest potential. I will be your guide, your compass, and hold a grounded space where you can reconnect to your inner guidance, honor every part of yourself, and grow from a place of awareness and compassion.
I believe healing is not about becoming someone new, but about remembering who we truly are — whole, worthy, and guided by the wisdom of the heart.
It would be an honor to walk beside you. Book a Free Discovery Call
As a certified 400-hour yoga teacher trained in Ecuador and Costa Rica, I offer heart-centered classes that weave together Hatha, Yin, Kundalini, Tantra Yoga, breathwork, and meditation. My approach honors the connection between body, mind, and energy — supporting nervous system regulation, chakra alignment, embodied awareness, and whole-being balance.
I also teach Chakra Psychology and energy education, helping others understand how emotional patterns, beliefs, and life experiences shape the energy body. Through both online and in-person masterclasses, workshops, retreats, and group offerings, I provide practical insight and spiritual depth to support meaningful inner transformation.

Watercolor Painting classes – another doorway into the heart. Through watercolor as meditation, I guide participants to paint with feeling rather than thinking — blending color theory with intuitive expression. As a proud member of the Anthroposophical society and a Waldorf Student alumni, these techniques are rooted in the foundation and teachings of Rudolf Steiner, which I feel honored to share. Watercolor is a reflective experience that quiets the mind, uplifts the spirit, and allows soul expression to emerge through art. Discover more about this method here
Across all of my offerings — coaching, yoga, meditation, painting, and retreats — my intention remains the same: to create safe, grounded spaces where you can reconnect to your inner guidance, honor every part of yourself, and grow from a place of awareness and compassion.
I believe healing is not about becoming someone new, but about remembering who we truly are — whole, worthy, and guided by the wisdom of the heart.
It would be an honor to walk beside you.
With love,
Esther

PAINTING AS MEDITATION
(Available for PRIVATE Hire & Retreats)
Individual or Group Program (75 min. – 120 min. sessions)
This guided watercolor experience is an invitation to slow down, soften the mind, and create from feeling rather than thinking. Blending foundational color theory with intuitive expression, this class supports you in exploring how color, movement, and flow can become a pathway to self-connection.
You will learn the principles of color blending, harmony, and movement, while also discovering how different tones and textures influence mood, emotion, and energy. Rather than focusing on perfection, this practice encourages presence — allowing your inner world to gently express itself onto the page.
Painting becomes meditation. As you work with water, pigment, and breath, the nervous system begins to settle, the mind quiets, and creativity flows more freely. Many participants leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to their intuition and authentic voice.
This class is not about being an artist — it is about reconnecting with your essence. Through guided prompts and supportive instruction, you will learn to trust your instincts, release overthinking, and allow color to reflect the deeper layers of your being.
No prior experience is needed — only a willingness to explore, feel, and create.

About this Masterclass:
This self-paced online masterclass is a transformational journey through the seven chakra centers — guiding you to understand how your energy shapes your emotions, behaviors, relationships, and life experiences.
Through seven recorded lessons — Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown — you will explore how each energy center influences your sense of safety, self-worth, confidence, love, communication, intuition, and spiritual connection. You will learn how imbalances in the energy body can contribute to anxiety, self-doubt, emotional reactivity, fatigue, disconnection, and repeating life patterns.
This course bridges spiritual wisdom with psychological insight, helping you understand not only what you feel, but why you feel it — and how your energy patterns shape the way you act and react in the world.
You will learn:
-
How each chakra relates to your emotions, beliefs, behaviors, and physical well-being
-
How childhood experiences and life events can create energetic imprints
-
How emotional patterns affect your nervous system and mental clarity
-
Practical techniques to rebalance and strengthen each chakra
-
Tools to rewire limiting thought patterns and respond with greater awareness
-
How to better understand yourself and others through an energetic lens
As your awareness deepens, you’ll begin to recognize your patterns with compassion rather than judgment. This understanding supports healthier boundaries, clearer communication, stronger self-trust, and more aligned decision-making in your relationships, work, and personal growth.
Included in the program is a bonus Chakra Healing Meditation designed to help you integrate the teachings and gently rebalance your energy system.
This is a go-at-your-own-pace experience, allowing you to move through the material in a way that honors your process. Whether you are new to chakra work or looking to deepen your understanding, this masterclass offers practical insight, spiritual depth, and empowering tools to help you grow with greater presence and intention.
By understanding your energy, you begin to transform your life from the inside out.

“I am immensely grateful for the transformative journey I’ve experienced under the guidance of Esther Hamar, my Reiki Healer and Spiritual Coach.

With her unwavering kindness and insightful guidance, she helped me rediscover my inner strength and provided the tools to realign and channel the energy within me.

“Over the last few months I have been seeing Esther for an energy healing and massage. My life has improved in so many different ways that I can not thank her enough. I used to suffer from alot of anxiety, and worry, and had basically no drive left in me. I tried everything from counceling, support groups, to prescription medication. Now I wish I tried energy therapy to begin with because I don’t even recognize the “older me” Thankyou Esther!!”

“When I first realized that I wanted to see Esther, I was so depressed that I felt I had no affect…no happiness or joy, only apathy or anger. My situation was so oppressive, both personally and professionally and she helped me realize my self worth. I had forgotten these things. The situation I was in was leaching all my energy and leaving me a shell of my former self…angry, depressed and hopeless. I knew I could turn this around if only I could find the right solution. I had tried the antidepressant drugs and knew they were not an option for me as I prefer a more natural method, and this is when I thought of Esther. We have known each other for some years, but never in this capacity. I had seen her on Instagram talking about her methods, and from what I knew of her, I felt she would be fabulous…her true calling! I am so glad that I reached out to her! After the first visit, I felt a glimmer of hope again and it spurred me onto more treatments. Esther listened to my concerns, never judgmental, always caring and concerned and went to work with her healing energy. Within the next two visits, I was starting to feel like my old self again…my authentic self! I gained back the spirit and confidence to escape from those situations that were oppressive to me. Esther’s beautiful presence, light and energy are absolutely transforming as she helps you find your own light and worth. I continue to work with Esther as it keeps me balanced and positive. Thank you so much Esther! You are truly a gift!”

“I went to see Esther to help me relieve symptoms of severe burnout, stress and anxiety. I have a high stress job and have had some major life changes the past year. I have been receiving reiki and spiritual coaching from Esther for about 1.5 months and after each session, I have more mental clarity, feel more open to exploring new ideas and have the ability to handle my stress with more ease. My anxiety levels went from 8-10 to nearly half. I truly feel stronger within my body and mind. Esther provides a welcoming, warm and nurturing environment to be able to let go and trust in the process. She truly does have a healing gift and I feel more connected to my Soul. Thank you so much Esther for providing a beautiful space for me to heal and reconnect to who I truly am!”
